Happy Birthday Carter!

Carter turned 2 years old today!

Brian took the day off of work and Carter was so happy to have him around all day. He's still really attached to Brian.

We started the morning with some birthday pancakes. Because Carter loved being sung to and blowing candles out at his party, I decided to do both for every meal today.


For couple of weeks I had been telling Carter that he was going to have a birthday soon and that he was going to be two years old. It started to stick about a week ago. Whenever you ask him what happens on his birthday or how old he is now, he responds with "two".

We had leftover pizza from the party for lunch (and dinner).



We opened up presents after Carter's nap.


We gave him a tricycle, a Mr. Potato Head, a toy guitar, a puzzle (from Rylan), and a Lego farm set.







Carter also got some presents from his grandparents including some trucks and a bookbag. We're planning on having a little party for him when we see everyone for Thanksgiving so he'll be getting even more gifts then!

Me and the boys ...


After playing with all of Carter's new toys, we watched "A Bug's Life" and ate popcorn. It rained most of the day and was just dreary. Cuddling up on the couch was a perfect activity for that kind of weather (unfortunately Rylan didn't agree).

After dinner, we sang to Carter one more time and had cupcakes. I took a video this time to show how much Carter loves being sung to

Happy birthday Carter! We love you!!!
